Lin Zhitong had just finished her swimming lesson, changing into a refreshing light blue tracksuit. Her damp hair draped over her shoulders, and her usually alluring purple eyes were exceptionally clear.
She was recognized as one of the campus beauties at Shanghang Art School, even surpassing Lu Caiwei, who was rumored to be a killer of otaku.
When Lu Caiwei asked if she was scared, Lin Zhitong couldn't help but sneer:
"There are gods three feet above your head. It's better to believe in some things than not to believe in them." Da Feng Xiao Shuo
She was a disciple of the Lushān Sect, aware that certain things existed in the world that ordinary people believed didn't. The reason she agreed to accompany Lu Caiwei to this club activity tonight was not out of curiosity, but because she had heard about the ghost infant incident and intended to investigate it personally, ideally to deal with the ghost infant.
She had Lu Caiwei and the other club members join so that, given that it was an Yin Moon and Yin Day with extremely heavy Yin energy in the mortal realm, their Yang energy could help suppress the malevolent energy of the female ghost and the ghost infant.
Humans feared ghosts, and ghosts also feared humans. For normal people with strong San Huo (the three vital fires in the body), they could even scare some wandering spirits to dissipate.
No matter how fierce the ghosts in a place were, if hundreds of people visited, even the fiercest ghosts would have to hide in corners, trembling. Da Feng Xiao Shuo Wang
Lu Caiwei, however, was dismissive of Lin Zhitong's words: "I never thought that our dignified Miss Lin, the most famous strong woman in Jianzhou Province, would also believe in feudal superstitions~"
Lin Zhitong curled her lips slightly. In truth, if it weren't for Yan Shouyi, she might never have had any interaction with another world in her life.
The two walked side by side to the activity room. Four students were already present: two males and two females. Among them, one pair was a couple.
These four were Senior Zhou Hui and Li Tao from the performing arts department, and freshmen Liu Yi and Fang Huilan from the dance department. Zhou Hui and Liu Yi were a couple.
All four were members of the Metaphysical Research Society and good friends of Lu Caiwei. They often engaged in thrilling activities like visiting haunted houses and playing escape rooms. In fact, except for Liu Yi, the other three were quite brave.
Although they had never met Lin Zhitong, they had heard of her for a long time. Upon seeing her, all four greeted her: "Hi, President."
Even though Zhou Hui and Li Tao were seniors and Lin Zhitong was a freshman, they were well aware of her status and dared not presume their seniority. They remained very humble in front of her.
Li Tao, who was single, had been chatting enthusiastically with Fang Huilan. After seeing Lin Zhitong, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
While Fang Huilan, a dance student, already had a great figure, Lin Zhitong's figure was no less impressive than that of the dance majors. Furthermore, her uniquely alluring aura was absolutely lethal to single men.
Lu Caiwei introduced them to Lin Zhitong: "These are our teammates for tonight. I won't introduce everyone individually; we'll have plenty of time to get acquainted later!"
Lin Zhitong nodded and smiled at everyone. Her smile appeared very approachable, but it actually maintained a distance from them. This was the aura Lin Zhitong had cultivated through long periods of exposure and training in the workplace and in business. Ordinary university students were still far from her level.
Fang Huilan, the short-haired girl, said excitedly: "In the past, we only played in haunted houses, knowing that the ghosts were played by people and weren't scary at all. I wonder if we'll see real ghosts this time. I'm so looking forward to it!"
"N-no, perhaps not. I heard that dormitory is truly haunted. Don't you remember what happened last week?" Liu Yi, one of the couple, seemed a bit scared. The main reason she agreed to participate in tonight's event was to keep an eye on her boyfriend, Zhou Hui.
Zhou Hui was a rich second-generation heir, while Liu Yi came from a more ordinary background. To prevent Zhou Hui from messing around outside, Liu Yi basically stuck to him all the time, except when they were sleeping at night.
Zhou Hui immediately patted his chest and said nonchalantly, "I'm here, what's there to be afraid of? The fortune teller said I have strong Yang energy, so ghosts will detour when they see me!"
Li Tao teased, "You? Strong Yang energy? Then why do you always carry bottles and jars when you go out every weekend..."
Zhou Hui's expression changed: "Bah, don't talk nonsense. I study in the dorm on weekends. Where else would I go?"
Li Tao realized he had let something slip and quickly tried to cover it up: "Just kidding, just kidding..."
Watching the four of them put on a show, Lin Zhitong sighed inwardly. These students were too impetuous, and every word they spoke was ripe for criticism.
If Zhou Hui truly had strong Yang energy, ordinary ghosts would indeed fear him. However, for female ghosts and ghost infants like those tonight, encountering someone with strong Yang energy would only make them eager to suck out his marrow.
Lu Caiwei coughed lightly, beckoned everyone, and then whispered, "Tonight's plan is like this: we'll sneak into the girls' dormitory first and hide in Xiao Lan's dorm. When it's midnight, we'll act and investigate the legendary haunted dormitory! What do you think?"
Upon hearing that they could enter the girls' dormitory now, Zhou Hui and Li Tao became very excited.
Lin Zhitong said, "My dorm is in the building that's rumored to be haunted. Caiwei, you come with me first, and we'll meet up later when the time comes."
She didn't really want to stay with Zhou Hui and Li Tao, and if they were going to exorcise ghosts tonight, she also needed to prepare some things.
No one had any objections, and the plan was set. The six of them went together into the girls' dormitory building and then returned to their respective dorms.
In a flash, it was midnight. All the dormitories had their lights forcibly turned off. The dorm supervisors and students were already asleep. Only the dim streetlights in the corridors flickered, and the world was silent.
Lin Zhitong and Lu Caiwei walked out of their dorms.
Lin Zhitong had a backpack on her back. She glanced at her watch and said, "It's time."
At the same time.
In the boys' dormitory, Yan Shouyi opened his eyes on time and muttered to himself, "It's time."
Zi Shi, which is from 11 PM to 1 AM, is the period with the heaviest Yin energy of the entire day.
Yan Shouyi rolled out of bed and woke up Long Feicheng.
Long Feicheng was groggy from sleep, but as soon as he heard they were going to the girls' dormitory, he immediately perked up:
"What time is it? Are there still girls who haven't slept? If they're not wearing clothes, wouldn't it be bad for us to see?"
"Stop talking nonsense," Yan Shouyi said. "There aren't many students living on campus at Shanghang Art School, and girls don't wander out of their dorms casually at night. Otherwise, how could the school send male security guards to patrol the girls' dorms?"
Long Feicheng scratched his head: "That's true."
Yan Shouyi slung his bag over his shoulder and took out a Taoist talisman from it, handing it to Long Feicheng:
"This is a ghost-repelling talisman. Keep it on you. If I can't protect you at that time, the talisman can block one attack for you."
"Just this?" Long Feicheng was unsatisfied. "Can you give me a few more?"
"Do you think my talismans are printed? This is the only one, and there are no more!" Yan Shouyi said angrily.
Long Feicheng chuckled and obediently put the ghost-repelling talisman into his pocket.
After finishing, the two of them, carrying flashlights, walked out of the dormitory and headed towards the haunted girls' dormitory building...
